It’s doable! But bindgen/cbindgen/cxx/etc exist for a reason: it hurts like a root canal. In my particular case, tiktoken is substantially like 600 lines of Rust. If I have a deadline do I fuck with the linker or just write it again? I’m marshaling std::string here, fuck let’s just write it. What I’m not going to re-write because I’m not a magnificent maniac like geohotz? I’m not going to rewrite libtorch. Which is written in C++ like all the software you can’t really live without.
